    I don't think it's a surname that works well as a first or middle name unless it happens to be a family name. If that's the case, it'd be an okay middle name.

    This might be completely random, but it reminds me of the expression that kids our taught to avoid strangers "Stranger Danger!". It also reminds me of Hermione from Harry Potter. Not sure if I can wrap my head around it as a first name. I think I prefer Ranger, which sounds similar.

    I read a book where the main character was named Granger. It is definitely a boy name to me. I personally find it appealing. It is masculine and strong.

    Reminds me of Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. I can't get past that association.
